Hi Ive just started working out on a daily basis and im not necessarily looking to lose a lot of weight. I have an athletic build overall although I do have a small amount of stomach fat. I want to keep my good balance of fat/muscle in the rest of my body but want to know if theres a way to slim down my stomach without losing weight everywhere else.

    Work your muscles, get plenty of protein, sustain a moderate calorie deficit, consistency, patience.

    You're welcome.

    You cant concentrate on losing fat in one area.. You will lose fat on your whole body.. So just keep doing cardio and workwell
